Relays are electromechanical devices that use a magnetic solenoid to actual a switch. When current is passed through the solenoid coil, it produces a magnetic field. The magnetic field is strengthened ...

Ideally a test engineer would connect a separate instrument to each test point of a Device Undergoing Test (DUT), thereby providing the highest performance and most accurate measurements. But this is ...

Electromechanical components such as relays and switches often must undergo endurance tests that verify their reliability and safety. Regulatory standards typically have compliance criteria that ...

Pickering Interfaces, the leading supplier of modular signal switching and simulation solutions for use in electronic test and verification, has announced a major expansion to its range of standard ...

Last month we discussed the basics of your car's 12-volt electrical system with the goal of understanding enough to trace problems to a particular electrical component. This month we're going to delve ...

Hybrid relays combine a mechanical switch with a solid-state switch, and they are set up in parallel to control a single load ...

Pickering Interfaces has announced a major expansion to its range of standard COTS LXI microwave switching solutions. The five new RFIU families provide the building blocks required to manage a vast ...

Pickering Interfaces of Clacton-on-Sea, the specialist in modular signal switching and simulation for electronic test and ...

The reed relay was invented in 1936 by Bell Telephone Laboratories. Since that time, it has gradually evolved from very large, relatively crude parts to the small, ultra-reliable parts we have today.
